Wings

I was bathing — heart grew tighter
In the sea, so deep and blue
I recalled how love grew brighter,
How I gave my soul to you
Such a pure and raw desire —
Felt like wings across my back…
Now the truth cuts like a fire:
I just want to save myself from that

(Chorus:)
I don’t want to drown inside this sea
Full of passion, full of flame
All of that — past grief in me
I let it go, without the blame
Take one step — and on the breeze
The wind will whirl them, wild and free
Set me free, and I will leave —
Then I’ll set you free from me

(Verse 2:)
I won’t search for hidden reasons
To stay standing on the edge
I won’t cloud our love with treason —
Kept my kindness as a pledge
Let this weight melt into air now,
All that held us in its bind
I forgive the weakness we allowed —
And ask you to forgive what’s mine

(Chorus:)
I don’t want to drown inside this sea
Full of passion, full of flame
All of that — past grief in me
I let it go, without the blame
Take one step — and on the breeze
The wind will whirl them, wild and free
Set me free, and I will leave —
Then I’ll set you free from me

(Bridge:)
Blue sea, goodbye — I won’t curse you
You’re no heaven, no hell’s art
You’re a lesson — I see through you
Written deep inside my heart
My heart won’t tighten anymore now
It tightened once — that final time
In the silence, it will soar now
Without chains — and still be mine

(Final Chorus:)
I don’t want to drown inside this sea
Full of passion, full of flame
All of that — past grief in me
I let it go… with love, not shame
Take one step — and on the breeze
The wind will whirl them, wild and free
Set me free, and I will leave —
Then I’ll set you free from me
